Chapter 2092: Meng Yunzheng's little school

Meng Yunzheng didn't just go through the motions; he genuinely asked questions related to the foundational knowledge needed for the county exam.

At first, Da Bao answered the questions effortlessly, which greatly pleased Liang Shi. She nodded frequently, feeling especially confident.

However, gradually, Da Bao began to struggle, often taking a long time to answer a single question and requiring occasional hints from Meng Yunzheng.

Towards the end, he could only shake his head in frustration.

Liang Shi was becoming increasingly anxious. If Shu Yu hadn't restrained her and shook her head, she might have rushed up.

Meng Yunzheng didn't continue. He said to Liang Shi, "Let's wait for a couple more years."

"But he answered the questions in the beginning," Liang Shi insisted.

"He did answer well at the start. His foundation is decent, but participating in the county exam still requires more familiarity," Meng Yunzheng explained.

Liang Shi was disappointed, but she didn't doubt that Meng Yunzheng was deceiving her. After all, he was a top scholar and Shu Yu's fiancé. He certainly wanted the best for the Lu family.

"In that case, can you give him some tutoring during this time?" Liang Shi suggested.

Meng Yunzheng contemplated for a moment. Tutoring Da Bao was possible. He even thought about having Er Niu join the lessons. After all, he was planning to open a school, and gaining experience was essential.

If Shu Rui passed the county exam next year, he could use that as publicity. If Er Niu and Da Bao showed significant improvement, that would be even better.

However, Liang Shi realized that Meng Yunzheng might be busy preparing for the upcoming imperial examination. There might not be enough time for him to tutor the children.

Although she really wanted Da Bao to take the exam, Liang Shi was practical and knew that there was nothing more important than Meng Yunzheng's upcoming examination. She decided to wait until after he finished the imperial examination.

Just as she was about to suggest this, to her surprise, Meng Yunzheng agreed, "Alright, I'll make a plan for Da Bao later."

He had experience with Shu Rui, but students had various personalities. He wanted to see if his teaching methods could be as effective with a student like Da Bao.

Liang Shi widened her eyes, "You agreed just like that?"

"Yes," Meng Yunzheng confirmed.

Liang Shi was overjoyed, and she thanked him repeatedly. Only Da Bao stood there looking utterly bewildered. After a long while, he felt so desperate that he almost wanted to cry.

The next day, Da Bao did indeed come to the Lu family to study.

Meng Yunzheng held the attitude of teaching one or teaching many, so not only did Da Bao and Er Niu come over, but even Cuihua's son joined in. Even Lu Sixing son, who had just started studying, and Xiao Songle sat on chairs nearby to listen.

Even Lu Sixing, who rarely came, brought her son, sitting in the back row early one day.

Even Xiao Huohuo wanted to join in on the fun. After all, there were many kids here, and playing by himself was boring.

Grandma Lu was very worried about this situation, with so many children, it would surely affect Yunzheng. What would happen to his imperial examination next year? It was all that Third Daughter-in-law's fault; there was no need to make such a fuss.

She privately spoke to Shu Yu, "Should we reconsider? All these children have schools, there's no need to occupy Ah Yun's time. It's fine for Shu Rui, he's taking the county exam next year, so he can occasionally ask Ah Yun if he doesn't understand. But the others, aren't they just causing trouble for Ah Yun?"
